The way I can justify having both parodies and the real thing in The Simpsons is... okay, this'll need some explaining first: Given how close these parodies are and how they'd be no different if they used the real thing, my headcanon is that they are actually one and the same, just filtered through a "copyright-dodging lens" for us viewers. If you were living in the Simpsons world, you are ALWAYS reading Harry Potter or playing the Nintendo Wii, but to us they're reading Angelica Button and playing the Funtendo Zii. But sometimes this filter is loosened, which is why we went from Star Wars jokes, to Cosmic Wars jokes, and then post-Disney buyout back to Star Wars jokes. Again, this is just a headcanon, and sometimes it's outright contradicted (since I just made this up), but I think it's a fun idea.

I may have to put a call to other patrons on here who may have experienced the same thing but I’m curious. back in the early 2000’s I had this phase where I’d have closed captioning on for everything and would read along for the heck of it, but something I distinctly remember is there where times where the captioning did not match up with what was said on screen. This episode is one of those times I can remember where in the scene where Lisa finds her bike missing, the episode she says “Oh no! Somebody took my bike!” But whenever this episode came on and I had the CC on it said “Who would take a girls bike?” Looking at the scene the lip movements look a bit off, so I wonder if the CC had an early script or such. If anyone else had their CC on this era I’m curious if anyone experienced the same thing.

We've finally arrived to my favorite episode of the season! All hail 123 fake street

Honestly one of my all time faves. When someone says there's no good Simpsons after season #X, I point to episodes like this

Alistair Shand aka Bongo

Sorry Henry but you are wrong - we in the U.K. say hoover the same way you do ! We call all vacuum cleaners hoovers . I’ve never heard anyone say Hoover like you said 😎

You need a pinky for your brain narf.

Appreciate Nina acknowledging the unacceptability of comma splices and apostrophe misuse outside of Twitter.

Frank Grimes

Haven't finished the ep just yet, so unsure if it's talked about at the end, but I am curious why Henry always said he hated this episode prior to rewatching it for this podcast episode...it was this episode and HOMR, IIRC from this season

I think I can solve your mueslix conundrum. Mueslix is based off a Swiss-German breakfast dish called muesli (which basically translates to mush), a cold oatmeal dish prepared with many of the same fixings and soaked overnight in cold milk. It's guessing Salman was served the latter and assumed the Kellogg's branded product was the same thing.

At last, the best of Season 12! Not to be a downer, but I think this is the last episode I've been looking forward to you reaching. I enjoy this one a lot, though the memory that sticks out for me the most is I must have been watching a rebroadcast later in the year and my mom happened to be in the room for it. She laughed out loud at Homer's Blue Man group remark, a quality joke for sure, but it just surprised me how funny she thought that was. I know a few people who have experienced the loss of a digit. My dad's best friend is a horse trainer and not long after he got married he had a horse take off on him. He had the horse by a leash, but unfortunately it was a chain and it caught his newly minted wedding band and pulled it off, taking much of his ring finger with it. It didn't sever, and surgeons tried saving it with a skin graft, but after a few days in the hospital he got impatient and had it amputated just below the middle knuckle. It surprises me to this day that the hospital even went that far as it would seem the recovery from that, had the graft worked, would have likely been long and not particularly rewarding (I say this as someone who has had a skin graft as well, the sensitivity never returns completely). My mother too has had a pinky toe amputated. She has arthritis which lead to a condition called hammer toes. She's had corrective surgery on some of them, but when it came to the pinky she just had it cut off. My sister and I both have young kids, and it's been amusing to see them pick up on her four-toed foot. My nephew recently could be seen staring at her foot and quietly counting to himself with a bewildered expression on his face. My mom could not stop laughing so at least she has a sense of humor about the whole thing.

I see flammable/inflammable memed a lot - I would say it's the most memed scene of the episode - funny how that was missed during the beginning conversation about the memory of this episode

Brandon

I'm glad you acknowledged how violent the show has been in the past few seasons. It's not only the Treehouse episodes. Heightened violence has bled (heh) into regular episodes. It's one of the few things I'm hoping Disney puts an end to.

Brian Hortin

I guess Homer’s Gattaca reference might be him not understanding/misremembering the movie. In Gattaca Ethan Hawke’s character has a surgery to make him taller where his legs are broken and then reset stretching them to make him taller once healed. Homer’s takeaway from this might be that legs were reattached.

This episode really stood out to me back when it first aired, and I remember quite a few lines from it being quoted regularly. What's interesting to me is that it's this good while still feeling more like a season 12 episode than like an episode from an earlier season—maybe they were just trying harder here than they had been elsewhere?

Kat Heagberg

Also: Did anyone else immediately go buy a bagel guillotine after listening? You all may have saved my fingers/thumbs.

Mikey Cox

Great listen. Bob’s talk of his fingerless logic professor reminded me of my outdoor Ed and gym teacher from Junior high. Both of them lost all their digits from frostbite after getting stuck on a mountain-climb in the Canadian Rockies during a freak spring blizzard. They admitted afterwards post recovery that wearing fingerless mittens wasn’t the best idea but they were happy just to be alive.

I read something recently about the inflammable vs flammable issue. As I understand it, both words come from Latin, but when it was first brought into English, the Latin prefix of "in" which means "to cause to" was added. In present day English however, "in" usually means negation. Later, a different translator also brought the Latin word into English but without the prefix. To be truly pedantic, "flammable" means it can catch fire if exposed to an outside force (like paper when exposed to a flame), while "infammable" means a substance is volatile and could catch fire on its own without an actual flame present. All of this is based on my memory of an article I read months ago that I am too lazy to bother looking up again, so I'll add the standard "citation needed" disclaimer. By the way, whenever I have to make test database entries at work, I'll use 123 Fake St. as the address and "Anita Bath" as the name.

Background on Rainier! The beer is named after the mountain/region in Washington state. In turn that mountain is named after Rear Admiral Peter Ranier because he was a friend of George Vancouver

Since you mentioned it, Totally Trans is one of my fave podcasts (they do media analysis from a trans perspective) and you should absolutely have Henry Giardina or one of the other hosts on. Get that double Henry energy going.

also- the majority of guys on jackass were hot which didn't hurt

While there's some competition (in my mind at least) from a couple of Schwartzwelder episodes, an argument can for sure be made that this is the best episode of the Scully era, excluding those run by other showrunners. It's just a genuinely well-crafted story, and has legitimately funny jokes, and on top of that, doesn't really break anything in terms of continuity or characterization (except maybe that Hibbert is the truly awful doctor of this era, but oh well). I remembered liking it as a kid, but I REALLY liked it upon revisiting it this time, and so far I've also checked out Run Lola Run since I hadn't before (it's also very good!). -- Nina was a fun guest as always, and I appreciated her calling Henry out on his nearly back to back moments of "smoking in media doesn't influence us" to "watching Sopranos sure makes me wanna drinking more liquor" lmao

I remember seeing this episode in high school, and having hope that the Simpsons still had something in them. After the slew of episodes that seemed to have a little more contempt for me each week, this one felt really fun to watch. This was the episode that finally 'explained' Legs' name for me, him being a mob surgeon fit perfectly in my mind.

bearwitness

Love this episode! "Linguo...IS...dead..." is one of my favorite Simpsons lines of all time. This might be the latest episode of the series I actually remember watching during it's original run.
